   2. (b) The Department shall fund TAS applications in rank order starting with the application with the highest ranking value.

2. (2) ECM:

   1. (a) The Department shall rank ECM project applications using the following formula:

      E

      1. (A) Project Payment = Summation of allowable ECM costs where the allowable cost of each ECM is determined by OAR 330-068-0090(2)(a);
      2. (B) E = The summation of electrical energy savings from all ECMs, savings are equal to the life of each ECM multiplied by its estimated annual kilowatt hour savings.
   2. (b) If a project application contains a direct application renewable resource component, that component of the project estimated first year kilowatt hour savings shall be increased by ten percent for ranking purposes only;
   3. (c) The Department shall fund ECM projects in rank order starting with the project with the lowest ranking value.
